It was on this day in 1995 that we lost Blind Melon Singer Shannon Hoon to a drug overdose.I don't think allot of people are familiar with Blind Melon or Shannon Hoon other that there hit single "No Rain." When I was first introduced to Blind Melon I was 14 years old and absolutely fell in love with Blid Melon. Hoon's vocals were unmatched and his live stage performance is still incredible. When myself and my bro's get together and start talking awesome front men, Shannon Hoon is always in my top 10.

Blind Melon released 3 albums with Hoon on vocals. Also Shannon Hoon gave some backing vocals on "The Garden" and "Don't Cry" from Guns N' Roses.
